This statute seems to imply that it applies to debtor notices on bank garnishments only, as it states "other than a wage execution or property execution".

This statute specifies that judgment debtors get a chance to succeed in paying the judgment debt with an installment plan first. When they do not pay, the judgment creditor may buy a execution writ for $75 from the court, and that expense is added to the judgment debt. The court then creates a wage execution garnishment, and gives it to a garnishment officer, that then serves it on the judgment debtor's employer. Notice of all paperwork then gets served on the judgment debtor.
Connecticut writs of execution need to be used within 12 months or they expire, and must be returned if the judgment is satisfied. Levies on wages are limited to twenty five percent, and may be thwarted with debtor exemption statutes or prior wage levies. Certain other types of liens, and child support, and certain other kinds of liens, and even union dues; can outrank and can push aside regular civil judgment garnishments. Employers cannot punish or fire garnished workers, and VIPs cannot avoid judgment owner wage garnishments.
